Hoover Powerscrub XL Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine & Oxy Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampoo & Renewal Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampoo, 64oz Formula, AH30924,

The Hoover Powerscrub XL Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine is a great investment for pet owners or those with heavily trafficked carpets. It performed remarkably well on a thick wool carpet, picking up dirt that had been missed by a previous cleaner, without dislodging red carpet fibers. The Powerscrub XL was able to restore the matted areas of a heavily trafficked living room carpet back to their former luxurious depth. However, though the machine is not heavy, it can be difficult to push and pull especially on thick carpets. The cord is also not as long as the older Hoover models, thus, an extension cord may be required. The shampooer comes with a six-foot-long hose and an attachment for upholstery which would work for stairs. To ensure there are no leaks, it is recommended that all parts be tightly secured in place, so that the Trigger to release cleaning solutions only goes off during the forward push and released during a backward movement. The machine comes with a red small rubber mat, but for users that need to shampoo steps, it is unclear how convenient it is to use.
